A quick google search indicates that venues need to get a majority of their revenue from people buying tickets to see paid artists performing, and from selling concessions to audience members watching performers. It seems pretty straightforward that they were a restaurant with a small theater, probably made more money from the restaurant side of things, and, thus, not eligible for an SVOG grant. I wouldn't call that an " unfair and ridiculous technicality" that kept th

I know this is the standard thought about Broadway, but im reality, I'll never believe it. Almost envy facet of entertainment claims to be a losing venture. Sports, Broadway. Even" The Empire Strikes Back" claims to have never made any money. Don't believe it for a second. Are there shows that losemoney? Sure. But 70-80% today? No way. It would have dried up ages ago if that were

DramaTeach said: "Just noticed that Peck posted a few days ago saying, “the run is sold out but stayed turned for future performances in Chicago in January. And then…eyes on New York City 👀.” Doesn’t seem like an “if,” it’s more of a “when.” I feel like that also confirms the types of venues people have been naming. They’re not aiming for Broadway, just NYC."

Charlotte doesn't have the power to cancel performances, that rests with the individual theatre owners and producers, or in the case of a major event like this smoke, the executive committee at the league. Charlotte is an administrator, she doesn't make the decision but has an equal vote with the other

Inflation and cost of living has been far outpacing touring contracts for yeeeears. And the League just let it get to an extreme where instead of increasing pay and amenities with the times, now there is SO much daylight between what is on offer and what AEA actors need to survive.

This has the hubris of those who thought Billy Crystal in MR. SATURDAY NIGHT was going to be a runaway smash and made even the worst of mezzanine seats $199 sans fees.

I guarantee these prices will be coming down A LOT and I can definitely foresee TDF and possibly papering if the going gets that rough."

We already know it's either Sam Julyan or James Yeoburn. It was specified as a Lead Producer, and those are the other two lead producers in addition to Hunter Arnold. Both are British, relatively young, and have never worked on Broadway prior to this. And asitsjustmejonhotmailcom said, investments are often discussed in a handshake way duri

A couple of things. 1) The producer who departed wasn't investing his personal money. He was raising it from others. 2) In this situation and others like it, an investor didn't "pull out" - they were never in to begin with. Once an investor signs the agreement and wires funds, there is no getting their money back. What likely happened is that an investor committed verbally or over email, but never actually invested. Most producers don't count that as a done deal for exac
